1931 Plymouth

[ColeGauthier]

Hey guys! Here is a picture of a 1931 Plymouth. Now, I think I did a pretty good job considering the circumstances, since I was in a basement with relatively low ceilings and barely any room to place equipment. C&C is always welcomed, hope you enjoy! First time shooting a car by the way.

Given the circumstances, not too bad. No. 1 could have use more light on the rear quarter, and maybe a remote flash on low power insdie to brighten it up a little. No. 2 is just too dark for my taste; I understand what you were after, but I really think it needs some light down in the footwell area and #3 looks pretty good as-is.

Looked dark to me and the Histograms showed that. Lifted the highlight a touch and brought the midtones up a bunch. Also got rid of some of the magenta cast.

I like the interior shot and the engine as well. The only thing about the full body shot are the reflections in the paint. It's like shooting a picture with a bad background, people don't see it unless they are looking for it. Under the conditions, I think they work fine. I do a lot of shooting of this type of car, and usually use a smudge tool in photoshop to soften the reflections in the paint.

It's a beautiful engine by the way. I've been working as a car show judge for over 25 years and admire the work that goes into this type of setup.

I like 'em but I agree with tirediron, a little more light, remote flash, etc would have really made it pop

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I will make all the necessary change when I get home.
